OB Coding Gravida: The term for the state of pregnancy 7]
Para: The number of times a female has given birth, counting twins and other multiple births as one pregnancy, and usually including stillbirths.
Nulligravida is a woman who has never been pregnant.
Primigravida: pregnant for the first time and is referred to as a woman who is (or has been only) pregnant for the first time.
Multiparous: Multiple pregnancies
Nine code families O00-O08 Pregnancy with abortive outcome O09 Supervision of high risk pregnancy O10-O16 Edema, proteinuria and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium O20-O29 Other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy O30-O48 Maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems O60-O77 Complications of Labor and Delivery O80-O82 Encounter for delivery O85-O92 Complications predominantly related to the puerperium O94-O9A Other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified Code Title Changes ICD-9-CM ICD-10-CM

652.11 O32 Maternal care for malpresentation of fetus. O32.1- Breech - buttocks, frank, complete O32.8- Breech – footling or incomplete Retained POC spontaneous abortion elective termination of pregnancy
Multiple codes required for subsequent encounters following a Spontaneous or elective termination of pregnancy.
O03 Spontaneous abortion – incomplete or complete 4th-5th digit specify if complete or incomplete and the complication if indicated. or O07.- Failed attempted termination of pregnancy Z33.2 Encounter for elective termination of pregnancy Failed Termination Assign additional codes as necessary to report any complications of pregnancy associated with conditions in category O07 Failed attempted termination of pregnancy category O08 Complications following ectopic and molar pregnancy.
O07.0 Genital tract and pelvic infection following failed termination of pregnancy. O35.0XX1 Anencephaly of pregnancy
Failed Termination live fetus
Z33.2 Encounter for termination of pregnancy Z37.0 Single live birth
O09 High Risk pregnancy codes are now in the OB chapter: O09.0- Supervision of pregnancy with history of infertility O09.1- Supervision of pregnancy with history of ectopic and molar pregnancy O09.2- Supervision of pregnancy with other poor reproductive or obstetric history O09.21- History of pre-term labor O09.29- Other poor obstetric history (neonatal death, history of stillbirth) O09.3- Supervision of pregnancy with insufficient prenatal care concealed pregnancy hidden pregnancy
O09 High Risk pregnancy codes are now in the OB chapter: O09.4- Supervision of pregnancy with grand multiparity O09.5- Supervision of elderly primigravida and multigravida O09.51- Supervision of elderly primigravida O09.52- Supervision of elderly multigravida O09.6- Supervision of young primigravida and multigravida O09.61- Young primigravida O09.62- Young multigravida O09.7- Supervision of high risk pregnancy due to social problems O09.8- Supervision of other high risk pregnancy O09.81 Pregnancy resulting from assisted reproductive technology (in-vitro) O09.82- History of in utero procedure during previous pregnancy O09.9- Supervision of high risk pregnancy, unspecified
Trimester of Pregnancy
First: Conception to < 14 weeks 0 days
Second: 14 weeks 0 day to < 28 weeks 0 days
Third: 28 weeks 0 days until delivery Changes in I-10 Occurrence of care is not an axis in I-10.
Instead we include the trimester of pregnancy. 5th or 6th character.
5th character - Trimester is based on the current episode or encounter. Pre-existing conditions Conditions occurring during delivery Trimester of Pregnancy Not all codes required the trimester of pregnancy.
O24.4- Gestational diabetes – Specified by “in pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium” If final characters are not applicable to trimester, timeframes of pregnancy are sometimes used.
Some codes will not have either trimester, timeframe of pregnancy, as they are specified in category level or do not apply to the code.
Trimester of Pregnancy Gestational hypertension – trimester specific: first second third
HELLP syndrome – 2nd and 3rd trimester only Pre-eclampsia - 2nd and 3rd trimester only
Trimester of Pregnancy Last character of code O42.013 Preterm premature rupture of membranes, onset of labor within 24 hours or rupture – 3rd trimester
If the trimester is not a component of a code, the condition is classified to a certain trimester, or not applicable to condition.
During the delivery episode, the “in childbirth” option should be used for coexisting condition. O42.013 Preterm PROM, del within 24 hours, 3rd trimester O41.103 Amnionitis in third trimester
Preterm labor O60
Definition: Before 37 completed weeks Condition of pregnancy/delivery
Categories that do not have terms with pre-existing and pregnancy-related conditions may be used for either. Hypertension during pregnancy When patient has hypertensive heart disease or chronic kidney disease - assign appropriate code from hypertension codes of I11-I13 to further specify the type of hypertensive disease.
O10.312 Pre-existing hypertensive heart and CKD complicating pregnancy, 2nd trimester
I13.2 Hypertensive heart and CKD with heart failure with stage V CKD or end-stage renal disease I50.21 Acute systolic CHF N18.5 CKD stage V Substance abuse in pregnancy
O99.321 Drug abuse in pregnancy, first trimester code first
F15.121 Stimulant abuse with intoxication with delirium code drug type
Poisonings and Injuries during pregnancy
O9A.213 Code the pregnancy related condition first T43.621A Toxic effects of methamphetamine, initial encounter Uncomplicated Pregnancy O80 Minimal or no assistance With or without episiotomy Without fetal manipulation (forceps, rotation or version) Spontaneous cephalic, vaginal, full-term, single, livebirth Not used with any other “O” code
Must be “principal diagnosis code”
Use delivery code for the appropriate procedure.
Use additional code Z37.0 for the single birth Weeks of Gestation Report on every delivery record – Weeks of gestation Z3A
Assign as an additional code after complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.
Report only on maternal record. O76 Abnormality in FHR Z3A.39 39 weeks of gestation Z37.0 Single Livebirth Identification of Affected Fetus 0 – Single gestation Multiple gestation when the fetus is unspecified When it is not clinically possible to determine which fetus is affected.
1 – Fetus 1 2 – Fetus 2 3 – Fetus 3 4 – Fetus 4 5 – Fetus 5 9 – Other fetus
A code from O30 must be used for multiple gestations. Identification of Affected Fetus
Certain obstetric code categories require a 7th character to identify the affected fetus in a multiple gestation code.
Look for instructional note that instructs the coder to assign the 7th character, Breech presentation Transverse presentation O32.2- Face Presentation O32.3- Cephalopelvic Disproportion Compound Presentation O32.6- A 'compound presentation' is the medical term when the baby's hand and arm (or on rare occasions a foot) comes down to lie alongside the baby's head during the pushing phase so that they are born at the same time. (If your baby liked to suck their thumb in the uterus, then they may keep this habit up until they are born)
It is more likely to occur when the pelvis is not fully occupied by the fetus because of low birth weight, multiple gestation, polyhydramnios, high presenting part or a large pelvis.
Other Malpresentations
O32.0- Unstable lie - breech, then vertex, then breech, then transverse, then breech, then vertex.
O32.4 - High Head at term Unengaged fetal head
New Codes O9A. - Maternal malignant neoplasm, traumatic injuries abuse classified elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.

O9A.3- Physical abuse complicating pregnancy,childbirth and the puerperium New Codes O9A. - Maternal malignant neoplasm, traumatic injuries abuse classified elsewhere but complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.
O9A.4- Sexual abuse complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium O9A.5- Psychological abuse complicating pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium Combination codes In ICD-9-CM we used two codes to show obstructed labor and the cause of the obstructed labor.
In ICD-10-CM we use one combination code.
O65.0- Obstructed labor due to fetopelvic disproportion
O65.8- Obstructed labor due to other maternal pelvic abnormalities Coding Guidelines Obstetric codes (O) may only be coded on the maternal record. Chapter 15 codes are to be used to report maternal or obstetrical conditions related to, or aggravated by, the pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. Code from chapter 15 take precedence over codes from other chapters in the codebook. Notes at the beginning of the chapter or the code block, pertain to all codes within the chapter or block.
Coding Guidelines The provider must document that a condition being treated is not affecting the pregnancy, otherwise the condition is assigned to the appropriate chapter 15 code. Codes from other chapters may be assigned as an additional code.

Fetal monitoring Principle Diagnosis in C-section The principle diagnosis in a patient who delivers by C- Section should be the condition that is responsible for the patient’s admission to the hospital. If a patient is admitted with a condition that caused the patient to deliver by c-section, that condition should be listed first. (Placenta abruption) If the reason for admission is unrelated to the reason for the c-section, the condition that necessitated admission should be listed first. Principle Diagnosis in C-section The principle diagnosis in a patient who delivers by C-Section should be the condition that is responsible for the patient’s admission to the hospital.

O24.424 Pregnancy complicated by gestational DM insulin controlled, childbirth episode. Z37.0 Single live birth Anatomy of a Perineal Tear Perineal tear classification is a system used to quantify the severity of trauma to the perineum during vaginal childbirth. Delivery may lead to overstretching of the vagina causing tears in the perineal tissue between the vagina and rectum.
Lacerations are classified into four categories: First-degree tear: laceration is limited to the fourchette and superficial perineal skin or vaginal mucosa Second-degree tear: laceration extends beyond fourchette, perineal skin and vaginal mucosa to perineal muscles and fascia, but not the anal sphincter Third-degree tear: fourchette, perineal skin, vaginal mucosa, muscles, and anal sphincter are torn; third-degree tears may be further subdivided into three subcategories:[3] 3a: partial tear of the external anal sphincter involving less than 50% thickness 3b: greater than 50% tear of the external anal sphincter 3c: internal sphincter is torn Fourth-degree tear: fourchette, perineal skin, vaginal mucosa, muscles, anal sphincter, and rectal mucosa are torn
Anatomy of a Perineal Tear Episiotomy with subsequent tear An episiotomy is the same degree as a 2nd degree tear
If episiotomy extends beyond that level, is considered to be 3rd-4th degree tear. Physician should document degree of Extension.
Code episiotomy and repair of tear. Code degree of tear for the extension if over 2nd degree. cc/MCC List for OB’s

ICD-9-CM Fetus or newborn description
ICD-10-CM Newborn is used consistently in perinatal codes
The intent is for these codes to be used only on the newborn record. Coding Guidelines Perinatal period: Birth through 28th day following birth.
Chapter 16 codes never reported on maternal record
Chapter 16 codes may be used throughout the life of the Patient if the condition is still present:
P14.2 Phrenic nerve injury due to birth injury Sequencing of Perinatal codes Z38 code is always sequenced first when coding the birth episode of care.
Z38 code is not used on transfers to our hospital from other facilities or for subsequent visits.
Patient transferred to our hospital for TTN born at outside hospital
P22.1
Guideline cont’d Codes from other chapters may be coded with codes from Chapter 16 to provide specificity. Codes for signs and symptoms may be coded if no specific diagnosis is established. Use the sign/symptom code instead of the rule out suspected condition.
Chapter 16 codes are assigned by default if a condition cannot be determined as acquired outside the hospital or due to the birth process.
If condition is community acquired – do not use a code from Chapter 16.
Pneumonia in a 26 day old infant – community acquired. J18.9
Guidelines cont’d Code all clinically significant conditions: clinical evaluation therapeutic treatment diagnostic procedures Extended length of stay Increased nursing care and/or monitoring Future health care needs
Hypospadius – code as will need future follow-up Meconium staining – no affect on fetus, no monitoring Guidelines cont’d
Do not code prematurity unless the provider specifically documents this.
Baby born at 35 weeks with out specific documentation of prematurity – Query the physician
Guidelines cont’d P05 and P07 Disorder related to small for dates, fetal malnutrition, short gestations and low birth weight are only coded if documented
Assign both birth weight and gestational age from P07, as appropriate. Sequence the birth weight first. P07.17 Other low birth weight newborn, 1750-1999 grams P07.33 Preterm newborn, gest age 30 weeks Prematurity affecting health status
P07 Prematurity codes may be recorded after the newborn encounter if they affect the patient’s current health status.
J45.902 Asthma- status asthmaticus P07.33 Premature 33 weeks gestation P36 Bacterial Sepsis of newborn Coded is assigned by default if :
No documentation of community acquired or congenital
Code also severe sepsis R65.2- as appropriate Code also the organism responsible as documented Z38.00 Single liveborn infant P36.0 Sepsis of newborn R65.20 Severe sepsis without septic shock code underling cause of sepsis P95 Stillbirth
Code only when hospital maintains separate record for stillbirth.
Never report on the maternal record Maternal condition affecting newborn If a maternal condition affects the newborn report with a code from P00-P04.
Code the end result of the maternal condition, followed by the P00-P04 code.
P11.0 Subdural hemorrhage due to birth injury P03.2 Newborn suspected to be affected by forceps delivery Newborns affected by drugs or toxins from the mother or given to newborn
P58.4 Newborn jaundice due to drugs or toxins transmitted from mother or given to newborn
Code additional code for the poisoning, if applicable, T36-T65 with fifth and sixth character of 1-4 or 6
Use additional code for the adverse effect, if applicable to identify the drug T36-T50 with fifth character of 5
P58.41 due to drugs transmitted from mother P58.42 due to drugs given to newborn Q – Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
Note: Title change – ICD-9-CM – congenital anomalies
Codes are arranged by anatomical site
Codes moved from this chapter: Persistent fetal circulation P29.3 – Perinatal chapter
Detail in coding Chromosomal anomalies are more specific: anatomical site laterality Q01.0 Frontal encephalocele Q65.1 Congenital dislocation of bilateral hips
Nine code categories for chromosomal anomalies
Codes for congenital anomalies of the reproductive organs have been revised or expanded.
Q56.4 Indeterminate sex, unspecified (ambiguous genitalia) Coding guidelines Chapter 17 codes may be listed as principal diagnosis or secondary diagnosis.
Z38.00 Newborn born this admission Q05.0 Cervical spina bifida with hydrocephalus
Q05.0 Child seen at 1 month by pediatric neurologist for congenial spina bifida Coding guidelines cont’d If there is no specific code available – assign additional code for the manifestations or associated conditions.
Q99.9 Unspecified chromosomal anomaly R25.9 Abnormal involuntary movements
No not code manifestations that are a symptom or part of the congenital condition.
Chapter 17 codes may be used during the entire lifetime of the patient. Some conditions may not be recognized until later in life. Coding guidelines
If a congenital anomaly has been corrected, do not assign a code from chapter 17. Use Z code for personal history.
